I live in Los Angeles, California, USA, where I document the LA landscape, historic buildings, film/television locations, and the details of daily life here and now.

I've uploaded more than 2,000 original images.

In 1978-1979 I documented the City of Chicago, in 1978 in Chicago and 1979 in Chicago and 1979 in Chicago Lawn. At that time, gentrification was just starting in River North, but otherwise the city remained a city of ethnic neighborhoods. I used a camera with a 50 mm lens, and mostly Tri-X film. In 2022 I scanned the negatives, and chose, edited and uploaded them.

Similarly, I documented 1979 in Bay Shore, New York.

I categorize historical images uploaded to Commons.

I've received two Photographer's Barnstars! (See Talk Page)
